I think you'll find, like Recalls that are called "Technical Enhancements", MB will claim it's not rust, but actually a positive feature called the "Integrated Bio-degradability System"I never knew that Mercedes vehicles rusted!

As your car ages and horsepower may be lost the vehicle compensates by losing mass!I think you'll find, like Recalls that are called "Technical Enhancements", MB will claim it's not rust, but actually a positive feature called the "Integrated Bio-degradability System"
The Italians thought of this first though with the "Superliggera" concept

Thanks,
Yep virtually every Mercedes I've owned I've had to do the arches
Thank goodness for Texas. I bought a 97 E420 that lived in Chicago for the first 5 years of its life. It looked perfect when I bought it but after about another 5 years, it started showing blisters on the wings and sills. By contrast, every nut, bolt and exhaust hanger under my 02 E55 that's lived in Texas all its life looks brand spanking new.
